WATCH: Cs assistant Allen hosts rap battle w/ Time Lord, Tacko, Poirier

Boston Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen has been keeping practice light on a retro tip lately.

Boston Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen continues to keep the team practice vibe light-hearted and retro, orchestrating a four-man lip-synch rap battle on Friday afternoon.

The battle pitted centers Robert Williams III, Vincent Poirier and Tacko Fall against one another and Allen to predictably comic results on display in the video embedded below.

Chosen tunage was selected from the likes of Eric B and Rakim for Fall (or, ‘Tackim,’ as Allen dubbed the Senegalese center after a rapper whose heyday was before Fall was even born), Z-Ro for Time Lord, Rohff (a French-Malagasy rapper) for Poirier and Three Times Dope for Allen.

Here’s Tacko Fall’s verse:

And here’s Williams’ verse:

(WARNING – BRIEF STRONG LANGUAGE IN THE LINKED VIDEO)

Unfortunately, Poirier seems to have (wisely?) not allowed his video to see the light of day; if you come across it, tweet @TheCelticsWire and we’ll be sure to include it.

While the foursome probably ought not to think too strongly about a career in music after basketball, it’s still worth its weight in comedic gold — and Allen wants your opinions in the comments on who pulled their verse off best.

So, internet, do your thing and give Coach Allen your reviews of the trio we were able to track down.
